I thought everyone understood english but people who didnt speak english had something wrong with their hearing and for them to understand what people were saying you'd have to speak in another language so they could hear what you said as english.

That’s a really fun idea for a thread!
I used to believe in That Thing In The Dark. Now I believe in cancer, social instability and pollution. You could say I’m on this website as a pilgrim, trying to find the way back to the real faith.

I believed that I would be safe under the blanket. I really did. I still do sometimes.

Not so much a belief as an action, but when I was really young, every Christmas Eve my mother would make up "reindeer food" and we'd throw it around the front lawn and up onto the roof so Santa and his reindeer would know where to land, and so the reindeer had something to eat while Santa had his cookies.

At some point I realized that "reindeer food" is just uncooked oatmeal and glitter. I didn't really care, and we still do it every Christmas Eve as tradition. Gives me the warm fuzzies something awful, now that I think about it.

In my case, he would grab the poles (in my mind, he had some sort of rake claw gloves to simply the process) and alternate swinging on one side or the other. I still do that when driving, thereby keeping a rough gauge of whether I've passed an even or an odd number of poles.

Sleeping facing the left of my bed would mean the next day would be awful, sleeping facing the right meant my day would be good. Alternatively, facing right meant I would become one tiny iota better as a person, left, that I would become slightly more evil.

My actions were being monitored by aliens, and by some statistically inconceivable coincidence, my actions were somehow showing them how to get through Earth's defenses in order to invade. Also, that Earth had anti-alien defenses.

That everyone except me was a robot and that whenever I wasn't looking at them, they would take off their human faces and reveal their inner robot forms.

That I had chosen to be born as me, so there had to be something awesome that would come up in my life at some point.
